Most intelligent persons are aware
that statistics show the comparative
safety of travel by rail. But in view
of catastrophcs like those which are so
fresh in every mind, the figures make
no impression. The stage coaches
never burned their passengers to death
and the railroads must devise some
plan to avoid burning theirs by scores
at a time or winter railroad travel
will be confined to those whose bust
ness is life Or death, and who are,
therefore, willing to undergo the shud-
der which every passenger must now
undergo, as he or she enters the car
and sees the heated car. stove unguard-
ed, and ready to scatter its contents
through the car in case of accident.

Brother Chase, of the Lyndon Un-
ion, is on trip to the South. From
New York he writes to his paper about
the Fifth Avenue hotel, kept by CAL
cdonia county man, giving detailed
account of its management. He gives
the cost of market supplies for the
month of January, which amount in
the aggregate to 2S,GSl,2l. Chase
says:--
"From this great market supply, the
Vermont farmer, who looks out for the
crumbs, will naturally ASK, how many
hogs does Mr.. Darling keep under the
hotel? A very proper question. There
must be great waste, as 4 majority OF
guests will not eat half which is set be-
fore them Well, every day man
appears with his cart and takes away a
load of "brokcn victuals" which he
sells at a discount to poor people, and
for which he pays the hotel S14O a
month. Then the hog-man (there are
no hogs under this tavern) appears
with his cart and gets on an average
20 barrels Of swill-no slops-consist-
ing Of bits Of bread, meat, poultry, fish,
pie, cheese, fruit, and broken crock
cry, which he carries far away to his
hogs, and for which he pays the hotel
$1,000 year, and gets a splendid
bar gain at that. Tine soap greNse sold
brings $1,000 a year, after using all
necessary to make scrubbing soap for
the house."
Five dollars a day is the charge.
Pretty steep, but if all his boarders
carried round such an appetite as our
brother of the quill, there would not be
much marginal profit even at this
price.

Discussing Annexation.

New YORK, March "A special
from Halifax says the address of the New
foundland Legislature to the Imperial Gov
ernment has produced a sensation. II 1t is
not declaration of independence it is the
next thing to II. The Newfoundlanders
tell the Imperial Government that they own
their fisheries, and they do not purpose to
pay the slightest heed to French or Ameri-
can interests, or to brook any interference
from the Imperial Government. The situ-
alton is so serious that both Premier Thor
burn and Sir Ambrose Shea, leader of the
opposition, have gone to London to repre-
sent the dangerous character of the prevail
ing feeling in Newfoundland. Meanwhile
the press and the people are universally
discussing the benefits of annexation to
the United States. Anything would be
better than the present state Of affairs, and
If annexation were submitted to a popular
vote 1t would be carried by a tllree-fourths
majority.

MINING MATTERS.

Ore receipts are increasing in the Denver
market.
Three hundred stamps are dropping
night and day on ore from the Comstock
lode.
The Miners hospital at Ouray will be
completed by June l. 1t will be two stories
in height with a basement.
The Telluride country is receiving in
creased notice from mining men, and sew
eral LeadvilIe parties are securing inter-
ests.
There are more men at work in the
Tombstone, A. T., mines at the present
time than there have been for the past two
years.
The Ben Butler, at Red Cliff, shipped a
car of ore last week that yielded over sl6,-
900. This is the'property lately sold to Rey-
nolds Bros. of Canon City for $4,000.
There is more demand for mining prop
erty, and more sales have been made in
New Mexico and Arizona in the last
six months, than there has been for several
years.
The wonderful richness of the Iron Mask
in Eagle county, has stimulated prospective
and development work ito an extent never
before equalled in that section. Other
bonanzas may and undoubtedly will be
found there.
The Golden Smelter, which has one
small and two large furnaces, but runs gen.
orally only two, is making its usual pro-
duct of four tons daily of high grade bull
lion. 1t has two large roasting furnaces
and is building two more.
The Long & Derry at the head of Iowa
gulch, has encountered a breast of ore over
10 feet wide, and the lessee, W. L. Gillett,
is taking out ten tons day of fine ore. The
Belcher in the same vicinity is also in good
ore and shipping regularly.-Leadville Dis
patch.
The Yankee Girl mine Of Red Noun
tain has contract with the Porter Smelter
at Durangot to furnish it with all ore shipped
which will run less than 8 90 per ton. The
Porter Smelter has recei, ed none for six
months, because the ore has been of higher
grade. The last shipment to Denver, just
settled for, was 10 tons, which netted the
owners over So, 900.
Mr. j. L. Cunningham, of New York, is a
gentleman who has no cause to regret his
investment in Leadville mining enter
prises. Twenty-one months age he bought
1900 shares of Small Hopes at one dollar,
has drawn dividends upon the same to the
amount of $s5,O 900, selling out at eight dol
lars share, thus clearing a net profit Of
| over's 'so0O, Observation-Disclosures
A letter from Mr.. Mudd, of the Small
Hopes, to Professor Potter, of St Louis,
says he has made very careful estimates,
and places the amount in sight in the
Small Hopes at $1,000 tons, which careful
assays show to run from &6O to SO, or an
average of s65, which would make to-
tai of 81, 5000 in sight, and, deducting
the expense of taking it out net Of 81,
